Staff DFx Engineer, Mechanical & Fluid Systems serves as the technical authority for design for manufacturability, assembly, and cost across mechanical, structural, thermal management, and fluid systems including fuel, hydraulics, and pneumatics. Joining the Air Dominance & Strike Manufacturing Engineering team, you will ensure that designs for autonomous aircraft, cruise missiles, and loitering munitions are buildable at scale by qualified suppliers. You will lead DFM/DFA/DFC reviews, conduct manufacturing assessments, develop should-cost models, and establish DFx standards for processes like CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, welding, brazing, and composite layup. The role requires expertise in thermal management designs, such as heat exchangers and cooling loops, alongside fluid system components like tube routing and fitting selection. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate manufacturing constraints into actionable design improvements while mentoring junior engineers on cost analysis and supplier evaluation methods.
